Aeronautical engineers have always had their critics. When Orville and Wilbur Wright (among other air- craft pioneers) set out to fly their first 'heavier than air' aircraft they must certainly have heard a few words from the sceptics. The first flight at Kitty Hawk took far more faith than engineering ability to take off. The sermon this morning was on 'lofty' thinking. How do we, with our weighty problems and all the excess baggage of this world ever plan to become a part of God's heavenly 'cloud of witnesses'?

It is a fact that many of the do -it -yourself -the -hard - way set actually derive some pleasure and. satisfaction from heating their homes with perspiration, and that is their privilege; to not do so is mine. Thermostatically controlled home comfort is a fairly recent phenomenon. When I first began installing furnaces in the mid -40's they were all coal-fired, mostly with a shovel from a basement bin, and they produced ashes that hod to be sifted (1 forget why) and carried out. Temperature control was by means of two chains that ran from a hook -plate on the baseboard to the bowels of the cellar, and operating them was a simple matter, especially if you were psyhic and an ac- complished puppeteer. That is not to say that you couldn't have a thermostat. If you owned the feed store or the egg grading station, and were therefor affluent, you could have a thermostatically controlled stoker installed in your furnace that would take the coal from the bin and feed it into the firepot. The stoker had a supplemen- tary advantage, in that it didn't produce ashes; it produced clinkers, which ore hard, ceramic -like lumps of residue that you removed with - what else - clinker tongs. Mind you, if a clinker found it's way into the conveying auger it would jam and break the shear pin, which was a small, inexpensive piece of soft steel that was placed in a manner such that all the coal hod to be removed from the bin in order to replace it. It is probably a faulty memory that tells me that shear pins foiled only when the bin was full, or when the man of the house was away, or any combination of the two. But no chains. To digress. The first furnaces were huge cast iron contraptions, expensive to buy and install, and only the wealthy could af- ford them. Then, in the lute 19th century Dave Lennox invented the fabricated steel furnace that brought central heating within reach of the middle-class homeowner, doing for home heating what Henry Ford accomplished in personal transportation with the introduction of his mass-produced Model T. 111 had been in the heating business then, I might well have adopted the same slogan 1 use today ---- 'We're`'Proud To Be Your Lennox Dealer".
